LifeTimes – practical compassionate support for those near life’s end.

Ruth Boydell

I help people by providing gentle guidance through this natural part of life – death and dying

From diagnosis through transition to post death, practicalities and rituals, I guide people compassionately and provide reassurance along the journey.

As a death doula, sometimes called a death midwife, I give sensible heart-centred advice with common sense solutions. I provide a gentle guidance to ensure this final journey resolves with dignity, grace and honour.

I help with planning end of life options. Sometimes this may simply mean quietly sitting with the dying person and perhaps their family.

People can confidently choose to die in their own homes as they might wish. I can provide the reassurance that all is going as it should by allaying fears and providing a calming presence.
